You're never going to be able to sell "War on Jihad", any more than you would be able to sell "War on Islam". Jihad is too integral to Islam, it would be like trying to differentiate between "Christ" and "Repentance".
We can target the aggressive aspect of Islam, and teach it to stay within the lines of the law, but trying to attack the concept of jihad (since jihad actually means more than suicide bombing) will be clearly seen as an attack on all of Islam.
Let's just be happy with Islamofascism. It suitably explains the problem.
Yeah, what he said!
It allows more fence-sitters and nancy-boys to support the WOT.
We can still destroy the fascists to the last Islamo!
"Let's just be happy with Islamofascism. It suitably explains the problem."
Yes, I agree. Nicely put.
I used the phrase islamofascism when SeeBS News called me over the weekend for a poll they were doing. I was 1 of only 924 polled, lol. (that's a tiny # to me, but what do I know?)
I used islamofascism, I said that was our greatest threat, that they were trying to destroy not only America, but all of western civ, and why yes, I do consider myself a born-again or evangelical Chirstian. Then I answered some of the limited choice questions in ways just to P.O. the poller, as he was calling from NY (I'm in GA) and I will bet dollars to donuts he was a lib.
That's ok, I'll bet he thought I was an uneduacated yokel, lol.
Oh yeah, I also mentioned we should be doing profiling more in airports etc, since most of the attacks in the past decade have been by Mulsim Arabs.
I said some other stuff too just to "scratch my nails on the blackboard", but I can't remember now. Hubby was sitting there LOLing, I'm surprised the poll taker didn't hang up on me.
But I was glad to get islamofascism in there.
